Jamaica 100m sprinter Oblique Seville ran the second-fastest time recorded over the distance this season after clocking 9.86 to take the event at the JAAA/SDF Jubilee Series.
Seville got away well before pulling away from the field to record a massive new personal best, shattering his previous mark of 10.00. Conroy Jones took the second spot behind Seville in 10.14 seconds, with Emmanuel Archibald taking third in 10.20.
In the women’s equivalent, Olympic champion Elaine Thompson-Herah dominated the field to take first place in 10.94. Thompson-Herah pulled away down the stretch to finish well clear of second-place Remona Burchell who was next in 11.31 and Jodean Williams who was third in 11.40.
